She
was
struck
,
however
,
beyond
her
expectation
,
by
the
grandeur
of
the
abbey
,
as
she
saw
it
for
the
first
time
from
the
lawn
.
The
whole
building
enclosed
a
large
court
;
and
two
sides
of
the
quadrangle
,
rich
in
Gothic
ornaments
,
stood
forward
for
admiration
.
The
remainder
was
shut
off
by
knolls
of
old
trees
,
or
luxuriant
plantations
,
and
the
steep
woody
hills
rising
behind
,
to
give
it
shelter
,
were
beautiful
even
in
the
leafless
month
of
March
.
Catherine
had
seen
nothing
to
compare
with
it
;
and
her
feelings
of
delight
were
so
strong
,
that
without
waiting
for
any
better
authority
,
she
boldly
burst
forth
in
wonder
and
praise
.
The
general
listened
with
assenting
gratitude
;
and
it
seemed
as
if
his
own
estimation
of
Northanger
had
waited
unfixed
till
that
hour
.
The
kitchen
-
garden
was
to
be
next
admired
,
and
he
led
the
way
to
it
across
a
small
portion
of
the
park
.
The
number
of
acres
contained
in
this
garden
was
such
as
Catherine
could
not
listen
to
without
dismay
,
being
more
than
double
the
extent
of
all
Mr
.
Allen
’
s
,
as
well
as
her
father
’
s
,
including
church
-
yard
and
orchard
.
The
walls
seemed
countless
in
number
,
endless
in
length
;
a
village
of
hot
-
houses
seemed
to
arise
among
them
,
and
a
whole
parish
to
be
at
work
within
the
enclosure
.
The
general
was
flattered
by
her
looks
of
surprise
,
which
told
him
almost
as
plainly
,
as
he
soon
forced
her
to
tell
him
in
words
,
that
she
had
never
seen
any
gardens
at
all
equal
to
them
before
;
and
he
then
modestly
owned
that
,
“
without
any
ambition
of
that
sort
himself
—
without
any
solicitude
about
it
—
he
did
believe
them
to
be
unrivalled
in
the
kingdom
.
If
he
had
a
hobby
-
horse
,
it
was
that
.
He
loved
a
garden
.
Though
careless
enough
in
most
matters
of
eating
,
he
loved
good
fruit
—
or
if
he
did
not
,
his
friends
and
children
did
.
There
were
great
vexations
,
however
,
attending
such
a
garden
as
his
.
The
utmost
care
could
not
always
secure
the
most
valuable
fruits
.
The
pinery
had
yielded
only
one
hundred
in
the
last
year
.
Mr
.
Allen
,
he
supposed
,
must
feel
these
inconveniences
as
well
as
himself
.
”
“
No
,
not
at
all
.
Mr
.
Allen
did
not
care
about
the
garden
,
and
never
went
into
it
.
”
With
a
triumphant
smile
of
self
-
satisfaction
,
the
general
wished
he
could
do
the
same
,
for
he
never
entered
his
,
without
being
vexed
in
some
way
or
other
,
by
its
falling
short
of
his
plan
.
“
How
were
Mr
.
Allen
’
s
succession
-
houses
worked
?
”
describing
the
nature
of
his
own
as
they
entered
them
.
“
Mr
.
Allen
had
only
one
small
hot
-
house
,
which
Mrs
.
Allen
had
the
use
of
for
her
plants
in
winter
,
and
there
was
a
fire
in
it
now
and
then
.
”
“
He
is
a
happy
man
!
”
said
the
general
,
with
a
look
of
very
happy
contempt
.
